Later they adopted a raiding strategy when Sheridan and Sherman devastated the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and central Georgia in order to make it harder for the South to get materials. The north strategy also wanted to take control of the Mississippi river, the Confederate capital of Richmond, and take advantage of main railroads so when in battle they could easily travel from place to place to get more soldiers or equiptment. The south first held to a defensive strategy, which ment they wanted allies (British and the French, who needed the South's cotton exports) would see the North at the agressor and would come to help the South.
